Hi Martin,

Wouldn't this table look much better, if it was only one?
And if the tested/release versions cells would have a green background
indicating these are the ones that are green-state in QA?

the question is not if it looks better but if it would be an advantage for the average user. And even if it is maybe clear but the color game has to be explained, too.

If it would be one table then it would include every bit and byte. I don't think that this would increase the good overview and doesn't confuse the people.

I like to stick with the separation of tested and untested files.

BTW:
Please don't hit me when I use Firefox as example ;-) but Mozilla has also split it up (fully localized and beta):
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Furthermore please remember that someone has to maintain this list until the next release is coming. Our current release process and tooling is better with splitting the tables.

It confuses user if she finds her language in the first table but not the OS
she looked for (yeah, it is stated in the above text, but mostly people
won't read it).

Maybe but then we should think of a better layout or wording in the text.

Best regards

Hi all,

as an alternative I've created a langpack website with all files listed in
2 tables:

http://download.openoffice.org/next/langpack_all.html

Maybe we can agree on this as commpromise?

Best regards

Hi all,

as promised I thought about a new structure and have created the following
websites to ease the download of RC builds:

http://download.openoffice.org/next/other_rc.html
http://download.openoffice.org/next/langpack_rc.html

Please have a look if the names of the languages are correct. It's not
easy to find the correct wording for so many, so please bear with me. ;-)

Keep in mind that this is just a test to show you how it could look like.
It's not yet the final version (e.g., all builds that are already released
have to be deleted from here, of course).

Once we have a final state I would update the index page (
http://download.openoffice.org/next), so that both new websites can be
found via links and make some announcements.

Please tell me what you think about this.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Marcus

Hi all,

I think I haven't taken into account the many differences with builds,
testing and NL communities. So, I'm sorry if anyone feels offend. This was
not my intension or to ignore the situation.

I'll think about what could be done to provide the builds to the users
(tested or not, released or not). Because it's a very high number this will
be not easy. And take into account that someone has to maintain this monster
of list (7 platforms with 90+ languages). ;-)

Just wanted to take the chance to answer here early before my absence the
next week. Therefore please don't expect to have a fast solution.

Best regards

Marcus
